JBL (Julie Berger Lindh) breathes substance into hazy dreams. Linking technological advancement with something fragile and sensory, her work dips its feet both into realism and abstraction. Lindh’s practice abounds in washes of soft, pastel colour, sometimes punctuated by details rendered in neon hues. Organic forms that ressemble floating rocks defy physics, and yet provide a weightiness to a world which otherwise could be a cloud, thereby bringing a sense of tactility to an ethereal realm. With a foundation in the aesthetics of atmosphere and the inherent narrative of space, the artist searches for something still enough to decouple hyperbolics from escapism. In its place, something gentler emerges.
JBL has most recently taken part in exhibitions with Denver Digerati, Galeria Melissa, Extraordinary Hope, Nowhere Gallery, and Vancouver Winter Arts Festival. In Norway, she has been part of exhibitions with Gallery Brenneriet, Gallery Ingensteds, and Varmtbadet with Drøbak art collective, as well as a solo exhibition at Sniki Art Gallery.

About the artwork
The universe thought it had been moving away from itself for too long. So it bent back around to the source. In here, everything still exists and will continue to, but in a different tenor. Existence doesn't cease, it shifts. It's a time for everything to fold upon each other in a jumble. Everything that should have happened but didn't. Everything that did happen and everything that will, now happens all at once. It makes room for a tremendous quiet.
About the series
“This place holds no predictions about the future.
Yet the resoluteness of a universe in stagnation might cease to unfold just like this.
A place rather unstuck in time.
Still, it’s a moving breathing place.
Soft and slow.
In a tiny pocket of its mind exists evolution and extinction. But there is something nuzzled in between.
That’s this place.
A Möbius strip
Doubling up on itself until it becomes a haze.
Not quite there. Not quite a vagueness.”
Julie Berger Lindh
